New equipment idea – Hydrominder problem

I stole a plastic hydrominder valve off of my Coleman equipment in the basement.  Then I was piecing together the hydrominder.  The eductor was just shooting out a very fine stream.  So I had to remove a water flow reducer.

Then I could not get the float assembly to work.  So I just replaced the float hanger.

Then everything worked fine.  I have now complete the tank conversion and pump install.  I think.

Vending

I am trying to decide what to do with my extra vendors.  In my existing vending I have:  1)  Armor All pads $1.00,  2)  North American glass cleaner $.75,  3)  Quick Dry paper towels $.75

On my extra vendors, I believe I am going with:  1)  Another Armor All pads $1.00 (I will not have to remove the sticker.),  2)  Quick Dry cloth towel $1.00,  3)  Black Jack $1.00 (I will not have to remove the sticker.),  4)  Little Trees $1.00 I am not sure what kind yet.  I have stickers for pina colada, forest fresh, and jasmin.

New equipment idea – mounted and tested pumps

I mounted and tested all the pumps today (Aro and Sandpiper pumps).  Connected all the hoses to the holding tanks.  Everything worked great.

Also, I cut down a hydrominder bracket to fit in the holding tank.  I will need to purchase another valve kit for this hydrominder.

I have almost completed my goal for the holding tank.

Lamp problems

I replaced the transformer and the capacitor today.  It looked totally fried and smelt like it also.  I also did not get electrocuted.  Which is good.  Oh and it worked.

Hydrominder problem

My hydrominder was overflowing when I opened the equipment room today.

 The valve was not working properly.  When the water was on the water would just trickle out like the picture above left.  When you simulated the float it worked fine.

I had a spare valve repair kit (Dultmeier Sales part number HR 6655K) and replaced the valve.  Everything worked fine again.  I also changed to Warsaw’s Radiance red high pressure soap.  Because it sucked down the rest of my hand cleaner, I mean high pressure soap and foam brush soap.
